Hi,
I have been having this problem for sometime.
Setup: D-Link DI-624 router
D-Link DWL-G650 Ver:C wireless adaptor
Windows XP Pro SP1 (and later SP2).
I setup a WPA-PSK TKIP encryption on my wirless components. Seemingly
arbitrarily, I would not be able to connect to the wireless network. I had to
hit 'Rescan' on the Dlink utility but that wouldn't help. So I uninstalled
and reinstalled the D-link driver and the AirPlus utility.
Whenever I did the above (reinstall), the name of my wireless network
connection changes. "Wireless Network Connection" -> "Wireless Network
Connection 2" -> "Wireless Network Connection 3" ....
I am currently at "Wireless Network Connectin 10" !!
At wireless network connection 7, my D-link utlility itself stopped working.
I double click on the utility-icon on the task bar and the icon closes
without opening up the utility! No more wireless for me
I called D-Link support and they said that some network stack or something
is corrupted and I need to reinstall the operating system!
Questions:
1. What's going on? When I uninstall and re-install the d-link utility and
driver why does my windows xppro remember that I had 'a wireless network
setup' before?
2. If some 'stack' is really corrupted, how can I clean it / get rid of it?
I hate to reinstall the OS for the sake of a wireless connection, which for
me is a little more than a convenience.
Notes:
This happened with SP1. I installed SP2 today and re-installed the D-link
utility and the odometer turned from "Wireless Network Connection 9" to #10
.
Thanks in advance
